Peer Tutor Tuesdays with Sani Dzafic

February 26, 2019 by Sandra Matsuba Leave a Comment

Name: Sani Dzafic
Program: Architectural and Building Technology

What attracted you to becoming a Peer Tutor?
I served as a teaching assistant at SFU. I wanted to do something similar again where I had an opportunity to help fellow students with their studies.

How has working as a tutor helped you?
It is very gratifying to know that you helped someone with an assignment. I have also found communicating with different students and looking at writing on different subjects broadens my mindset.

If you could give one piece of advice to a BCIT student what would it be?
Enjoy your time at BCIT, even when you experience moments that are not so enjoyable. In those situations, it is heartening to know that your fellow classmates also go through a similar experience. I found that my peers are consistently ready to support me and vice versa.

What would your dream job be when you leave BCIT?
Project Manager.

If you had a free day, how would you spend it?
Hang out with my friends and family at a lake.
